Very interesting development, starguy - this may well be the way the hotel brands begin to fight Airbnb . When I can stay at Heathrow Sheraton for less than £60, this looks a little expensive - but the advantage comes when you need 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms. Will stay at my first Tribute Portfolio (The Vagabond Club in Singapore) next month - really interested in what it will be like.

starguy It looks like Marriott has updated the website. Here's a new BETA version linked from the Marriott.Com website. Looks like the same program you told us about. Perhaps brightlybob will be pleased that someone listened to him about the previous website being so difficult to navigate. It looks better now in IE and Bing, but not so much in Chrome. I don't have FireFox, Safari or Mozilla, so can't check those.

The redemption value is pretty awful 0.4c / pt. I looked at the rates for my upcoming London stay and its very expensive. It may make sense for families but Airbnb has better value at the same locations. Lets see how it works out when they start adding more locations - I am more curious about NYC.
